Notes:
Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque or more commonly called Masjid Terapung is a unique design which is built on a floating platform, giving a floating feel from far away. The mosque is built on the estuary of Terengganu River by one of the prince in Terengganu state. Combining both modern and Moorish architecture design, the mosque symbolizes the innovation and modernisation in the state.
A state where religion is held close to it's people's hearts, the Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque, or also referred to as the Floating Mosque, is one of the icons of Islam in the state. Built from an idea birthed by the late Sultan of Terengganu, Al-Marhum Sultan Mahmud Al-Muktafi Billah Shah ibni al-Marhum Sultan Ismail Nasiruddin Shah, this mosque was named after his mother, Tuanku Intan Zaharah binti Almarhum Tengku Seri Setia Raja.
The ideal time to visit this mosque is in the evening, when the evening sun shines on the mosque, turning the building into golden colour while the cooling breeze blow from the South China sea.
The mosque is located in Teluk Ibai, just over 4km away from Kuala Terengganu town centre, quite close to the beautiful beach of Terengganu's coast. The white structure of the mosque gorunds covers and area of roughly 5 acres and serves a number of villages nearby.
The beauty of its architecture and serenity of its surrounding landscape, also draws a great number of visitors to Terengganu who take the opportunity to perform their prayers and take a breather from their journey at this mosque. The design of the mosque reflects a subtle Islamic influence combined with local features, incorporating the use of marble, ceramics, mosaic works and bomanite paving. Constructed with a lake surrounding it, much like a moat, the mosque is popularly referred to as the Floating Mosque. With the backdrop of the open South China Sea, this mosque is an irresistable attraction to visitors in Terengganu.
Location: Kuala Ibai,Terengganu.
today is my ten year wedding anniversary. 16 years together. i can't believe it has been that long. although when i look in the mirror, i realize it must be. we have done so many things together. marriage is hard. and while i sometimes think that men and women living together is some sort of cruel joke, i love it. the comfort of really knowing someone, feeling that body next to you in bed at night and knowing there is someone else to go through everything with you. also having someone to be really honest with you about things you need to change. they help you evolve and vice versa.
my husband works really hard for anna and me. tells me that without us, he would be nothing. he leaves me lipstick notes like the one in this photo on just regular days... i love him so much and while we have had many ups and downs, i want to always strive to make it better. he is a good man and i am a lucky girl.

*******************************************************
What a difference a year makes: on the first day of spring in 2010, I noted (in this Flickr set that "all 8 million New Yorkers were ready to take advantage of [spring]. The sun was out, the temperature was in the 70s, the sky was blue, and the clouds had disappeared to some other part of the country. There was no way a sane person could stay indoors..."
This year, spring arrived about 6 hours earlier (1:32 PM, as compared to last year's 7:21 PM), and while the sun was out, the temperature was in the low 40s rather than the 70s. Like last year, I decided to celebrate the arrival of spring by walking in Riverside Park, and began my usual stroll at the entrance on 72nd Street. I walked a couple blocks south, to the newly-constructed pier that juts halfway out into the Hudson River (or so it seems, anyway), and saw that the outdoor cafe at the base of the pier, where one can usually find a tasty hamburger and a cold beer, was still completely shut down. So I began walking north -- eventually past the 79th Street boat basin, where the Boat Basin Cafe (which you can see more about in this Flickr set ) was open, though protected by gas heaters and wind baffles.
Like last year, there was bright sunshine, blue skies, and no wind -- so people were indeed outside. But because the temperature was about 30 degrees colder, there weren't any picnics and there wasn't any sunbathing. Instead of finding people sprawled out on park benches, enjoying the Sunday newspaper in the sunshine, about the only activities I noticed were bicycling, jogging, brisk walking, and skating.
I was frustrated by the lack of the usual springtime "photo-ops," but then remembered the old adage: if life hands you lemons, then make lemonade. Since there was a steady stream of joggers, cyclists, and skaters, I decided that I might as well photograph them. So I situated myself on a bench near a spot where the walkway along the river splits in two directions: you can turn east and pass under the West Side Highway, up some stone steps and into a playground and elevated section of the park at 82nd Street; or you can continue straight along the river, and follow a newly-constructed narrow two-bike-lane path that connects the "lower" section of Riverside Park (i.e., below 82nd Street) with the "upper" section (starting at roughly 94th Street).
People were coming and going in all directions, so I situated myself with the sun behind me, facing north towards the George Washington Bridge in the far background, and basically ignored everyone coming up the walkway from behind me. There were plenty of people heading south, with the bright springtime sun shining directly on them, and I sat there for about an hour, until I had collected some 500 images with my new Sony SLT a55 camera ...
At that point, I decided I had gotten enough, so I strolled over to Broadway, and took a bus uptown to my own neighborhood. Only a few of the images that I uploaded to my computer were complete disasters -- e.g., out of focus, or missing a head, arm or leg because the subjects were moving so quickly past me. But I had to reject quite a few because they were a little too ordinary ... i.e., your reaction would have been something like, "Oh. There's a guy on a bike. Just like the last guy on a bike, and the one before that." So I ended up with about 70 "keepers" that I felt were sufficiently interesting to warrant uploading to Flickr.
And so that's it for Riverside Park in March, at least this year. Indeed, I may well wait until May before returning -- by which time I hope it will be warm enough that I'll see the sights and scenes that I more commonly associate with springtime in New York City.

While visiting my sweetie and the barred owls/owlets in his back yard, I spotted a feather in the area underneath where the adult likes to hang out. My heart leaped when I saw this special marking. I’ve turned it over to emphasize the heart shape, but it still felt like a love note from the owls and Mother Nature! He and I met while watching great horned owlets at a public park, so this felt like another owl blessing upon us!
I know I finished my kid 52 weeks project but seems it's still like a habit for me making a weekly shot ;)

Ref: Wired interview
The Canon AE-1 can do shutter-priority auto exposure (hence the name). To activate it, you have to set your lens' aperture to "A".
I will try to remember that the next time I fiddle around with the aperture ring. Hopefully, that will be before I take a couple of pictures with the camera set to whatever was the last position of the ring before I forgot about it.
I'm curious how the handful of pictures I took that way will come out. Maybe I'm lucky, but I doubt it. A pity as the Kodak Portra 400 I loaded is way too expensive for fooling around.
Everything will work out in the end.
Try not to worry so much.
It's not as bad as it seems.
This is just one part of your life.
Keep on going.
Don't let anyone bring you down.
Do what makes you happy.
The sun follows the rain.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
It's not as hard as you think.
Just do it.
Let it go.
Worry less.
Smile more.

I've taken to jotting down notes from everywhere in lil notebooks.. I hope that someday someone somehow will benefit from my scribbling..
This was taken near the northeast corner of 8th Avenue and 24th Street
The picture speaks for itself ...
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Jan 22, 2014.
***************
This set of photos is based on a very simple concept: walk every block of Manhattan with a camera, and see what happens. To avoid missing anything, walk both sides of the street.
That's all there is to it …
Of course, if you wanted to be more ambitious, you could also walk the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx. But that's more than I'm willing to commit to at this point, and I'll leave the remaining boroughs of New York City to other, more adventurous photographers.
Oh, actually, there's one more small detail: leave the photos alone for a month -- unedited, untouched, and unviewed. By the time I actually focus on the first of these "every-block" photos, I will have taken more than 8,000 images on the nearby streets of the Upper West Side -- plus another several thousand in Rome, Coney Island, and the various spots in NYC where I traditionally take photos. So I don't expect to be emotionally attached to any of the "every-block" photos, and hope that I'll be able to make an objective selection of the ones worth looking at.
As for the criteria that I've used to select the small subset of every-block photos that get uploaded to Flickr: there are three. First, I'll upload any photo that I think is "great," and where I hope the reaction of my Flickr-friends will be, "I have no idea when or where that photo was taken, but it's really a terrific picture!"
A second criterion has to do with place, and the third involves time. I'm hoping that I'll take some photos that clearly say, "This is New York!" to anyone who looks at it. Obviously, certain landscape icons like the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty would satisfy that criterion; but I'm hoping that I'll find other, more unexpected examples. I hope that I'll be able to take some shots that will make a "local" viewer say, "Well, even if that's not recognizable to someone from another part of the country, or another part of the world, I know that that's New York!" And there might be some photos where a "non-local" viewer might say, "I had no idea that there was anyplace in New York City that was so interesting/beautiful/ugly/spectacular."
As for the sense of time: I remember wandering around my neighborhood in 2005, photographing various shops, stores, restaurants, and business establishments -- and then casually looking at the photos about five years later, and being stunned by how much had changed. Little by little, store by store, day by day, things change … and when you've been around as long as I have, it's even more amazing to go back and look at the photos you took thirty or forty years ago, and ask yourself, "Was it really like that back then? Seriously, did people really wear bell-bottom jeans?"
So, with the expectation that I'll be looking at these every-block photos five or ten years from now (and maybe you will be, too), I'm going to be doing my best to capture scenes that convey the sense that they were taken in the year 2013 … or at least sometime in the decade of the 2010's (I have no idea what we're calling this decade yet). Or maybe they'll just say to us, "This is what it was like a dozen years after 9-11".
Movie posters are a trivial example of such a time-specific image; I've already taken a bunch, and I don't know if I'll ultimately decide that they're worth uploading. Women's fashion/styles are another obvious example of a time-specific phenomenon; and even though I'm definitely not a fashion expert, I suspected that I'll be able to look at some images ten years from now and mutter to myself, "Did we really wear shirts like that? Did women really wear those weird skirts that are short in the front, and long in the back? Did everyone in New York have a tattoo?"
Another example: I'm fascinated by the interactions that people have with their cellphones out on the street. It seems that everyone has one, which certainly wasn't true a decade ago; and it seems that everyone walks down the street with their eyes and their entire conscious attention riveted on this little box-like gadget, utterly oblivious about anything else that might be going on (among other things, that makes it very easy for me to photograph them without their even noticing, particularly if they've also got earphones so they can listen to music or carry on a phone conversation). But I can't help wondering whether this kind of social behavior will seem bizarre a decade from now … especially if our cellphones have become so miniaturized that they're incorporated into the glasses we wear, or implanted directly into our eyeballs.
Oh, one last thing: I've created a customized Google Map to show the precise details of each day's photo-walk. I'll be updating it each day, and the most recent part of my every-block journey will be marked in red, to differentiate it from all of the older segments of the journey, which will be shown in blue. You can see the map, and peek at it each day to see where I've been, by clicking on this link

If you have any suggestions about places that I should definitely visit to get some good photos, or if you'd like me to photograph you in your little corner of New York City, please let me know. You can send me a Flickr-mail message, or you can email me directly at ed-at-yourdon-dot-com
Stay tuned as the photo-walk continues, block by block ...

One important aspect of Readernaut is the ability to create "notes" on a particular book. Notes can be anything from a review or character analysis to a quote or simple comment.
Designing the form and functionality for Notes has been challenging because it needs to be very flexible and adaptive to peoples habits and practices.
A rather BIG plant which reminds a lot of a dandelion, but this is approx 2-3 times bigger. Unfortunately I couldn't spot any flowers, only these seed balls, but the stem (or should I say stalk) and leaves are completely different from any dandelion plant. View Large
Valentine's day is upon us. Such a beautiful day with a gentle reminder for us to have a no complain relationship and not to use our fault finding mind. Let life happens in your relationship, go with the wave and laugh along side with it. After all, It's caring that is important in a relationship.
I am missing my mister dearly and his special Sunday morning comfort food. What an important part of my life he has been and continues to be. I definitely miss his goofy trot and our early morning routine.
Happy Valentine's weekend sweet friends.
Bring on the pancakes and sausages.
Love to you and yours.
I was fascinated by the book that this girl was writing on the train. This side had lots of cuttings and images stuck in it. Her handwriting was very neat.
When I posted this on Facebook I didn't have a title, so I opened it up to suggestions.
One of the first to reply was a good friend of mine who came up with this title.
Very simple but it got me thinking.
Music is.....
The soundtrack to your life. Like a smell, it can take you back in time in an instant, it can sit on a tape, a cd, a record, an iPod, for months or even years unplayed. But the second you put it on, it can take you back to a time and a place in your past or lift you up when you're down, inspire you when you're treading water, provide a chink of light in the darkness, wrap it's warm arms around you in the cold.
Music is inspiration, love, hurt, warmth, propaganda, motivation, reconciliation, and a million things in between

Notes: In 1825 Barnett Levey was granted provisional lease of 320 acres at Lapstone Hill. 640 acres was added to this grant and the property became known as Mount Sion. The site of the Pilgrim Inn was within these grants.
By 1828 a four-roomed weatherboard house, outhouses, piggery and stable had been erected and the property was put up for sale. The building appears to have operated as an inn from 1830 and was known as the Pilgrim Inn from 1832. In that year, new road improvements (Mitchell's Pass) were reported to be passing behind the Pilgrim Inn and requiring removal of the stables, stores and fencing.
Another inn, the Late Lord Byron was also built nearby in about 1840. In 1852 John Outrim Wascoe acquired the licence there and used the sign of the Old Pilgrim Inn. In 1857 Wascoe bought the site of the Pilgrim Inn and took the name of Old Pilgrim Inn with him.
This complex name change is one cause of the confusion over the site. The inn closed in 1869. After that time the Deane family took up residence. In 1968 the building burnt down. A McDonald's restaurant was built adjacent with a car park surrounding the remains of the old inn.
More recently local historians have again claimed that the attribution of the site is incorrect and that the site here is of the second inn, not the original Pilgrim Inn. In any event it would still be an 1840s site, and it is known to retain sub-surface archaeological deposits.
The site has historic significance at the local level, as it is directly associated with the early settlement of the lower Blue Mountains and Blaxland in particular. In the Inn period the site has associations with the locally prominent John Wascoe, and after closure of the inn with the Deane family who occupied the site for 100 years. Archaeological deposits are known to survive here which will provide evidence of the specific construction, form, nature, function and occupation of this site. (State Heritage Inventory)
